          You need to make GC a trusted contact/sender; how you do that will vary depending on the software you are using, but I will be about a bit more tomorrow and am happy to try and help :)

                    Are you using the Gmail app or accessing your email by going online?

                      I know this is woo's thread but, if you are asking anyone who is having this problem, then I access the GC posts by going online i.e. via my email.

                      OK - it then depends on your ISP's chosen software as to how you can make GC's email address a trusted sender.

                      This process, along with most other email operations are easier if you use an email client on your PC (like Outlook for example); some of these you have to pay for, but others are free. Thunderbird is a good free one, and works in a similar way to Outlook.

                      I presume that is Outlook.com as opposed to Outlook the program?
